. >>> also, romney and obama seem to agree on outsourcing. they both hate it, but actually they should both embrace it. i'll tell you why. but first here's my take. over the last week as we watched rage and protest in the muslim world, people have asked why it's happening and because we're in a campaign season, that question has become a political one. some republicans say it is president obama's policies that have produced this atmosphere. he has projected weakness, offered olive branches, and been naive. but think about it. had president obama kept 100,000 troops occupying iraq, would that have made people in the middle east happier with america? had he given a more combative speech three years ago, would that have made radical islamists stay at home last week? the truth is, president obama nor any american president has much to do with t outbreak of protests over the last two weeks. it might be instructive to recall that after the 9/11 attacks, many asked the question why is there so much anger in the arab world, why do they hate us, and m

how can obama win. the average incumbent, the true incumbent, not someone who inherited the white house but someone who was elected already wins by an average of about six or seven points. if obama won the election by two or three points, that would be in some ways a tenuous position for an incumbent. but incumbents have run a campaign in a convention before. they'll probably make fewer errors around the margin. experience helps a bit. what incumbents normally do is fundraising. romney's raised a lot of money so far. the incumbency advantage is pretty powerful. >> now let's look at the electoral college and swing states. these are national numbers. when you narrow it down to looking at the places that are going to matter in delivering the magic 270 number, what do you see? >> well, i think ohio stands out first and foremost as being, as it often is, the most important state. you know, that's one state that you would think that if people are voting based on national economic conditions, maybe obama would

there's one thing that mitt romney and president obama are in agreement. outsourcing. >> we do not need an outsourcing pioneer in the oval office. we need a president who will fight for american jobs. >> if there's an outsourcing chief, it's the president of the united states, not at the guy who's running to replace him. >> every week both sides of the aisle bad mouth outsourcing. hang on. what's so bad about outsourcing? let's look at the facts. a common misconception about outsourcing is it is a zero-sum gain. by that we mean when the job is moved to china we tend to read the score as china, plus one, america, minus one. but a recent london school of economics and political science found that it actually improved the domestic job market. you can understand why. if a company can lower its costed by outsourcing, it is likely to survive and flourish and thus eventually hire more workers in mark. outsourcing is actually a fancy word for a simple ancient idea. people should specialize at what they do best. adam smith described it as far because as 1776. he wr
